My car charger doesn't work since OTA update - Motorola Atrix 2

I used to charge my Atrix 2 with a Galaxy Tab 10.1 car charger... until OTA update. After that update my phone doesn't charge with it anymore. The charger still works on other devices, like Galaxy Tab and my wife's Galaxy Ace, but not with my Atrix.
Has anyone the same problem with other car chargers?

I never found the reason for this, I guess with the update increased amperage requirements and therefore the Samsung charger didn't work anymore. I currently use one of the same Motorola and going great with my Atrix 2 CM10

Galaxy Note II and Galaxy Note 10.1 Chargers Interchangeable?

Hey guys,
I asked this question on the Note 2 forum, but maybe there aren't many users that have a note 2 and have a note 10.1; so I'm hoping that there are more users here that have a note 10 and also have the note 2 (does that make sense?)
The thread is about to jump to page 2, so I don't think I'm getting any hits there. Both chargers say that the output is 5V at around 2A.
No note 10.1 needs more power

They will, it just might take longer to charge is all... I use the same charger from my galaxy tab 7" (1st galaxy tab) and it works fine for my SGS3, note 1 and note 10.1...
Best idea is to try, You won't fry your note 10.1....
i know the gn2 charges fine on the gn10.1 charger with both fast and trickle. I'm pretty positive the gn2 charger would be fine on the gn10.1 since it's a 2A charger. i havent used the charger yet since ive got 2 other 2A samsung chargers.

Galaxy tab 7 charger is the same as. Note 10.1 but galaxy note 2 charger gives less power and you will find a red cross on the battery icon when you charge with it (it will actually charge but it may take all the day to charge it)

As I said, might take longer... Just like when you attach to a USB on your PC... It will charge but a lot slower....
Still a good idea if you need to keep a charger at home and one at work as it's better than not having a second charger at all... Though it's just as easy to attach to a PC...
unless the gn2 is wired differetly than every other samsung device there shouldn't be any difference in charge times as both use 5V 2A chargers im over 90% so i can test fast charge yet. hooking it up does not show the not charging icon so I'd assume it's not trickling. I've read that non samsug chargers charge under 400mA. the gn2 is charging currently at 507mA. I'll have to wait a few hours or tomorrow to see if it fast charges, which im sure it will
confirmed the both work equally. both charge up to 1.5A. i dont see any record of the gn10.1 charger ever going higher than 1.536A.
Well, this clarifies things. I was just wondering as the Note 2's charger is almost half the size of the note 10's. Maybe the size is just an updated design...
At least now I can have one of the device's charger at home and the other at work and not worrying in frying one the device by not using the proper charger.
I want to order the desktop charger for the note 2 and I think that comes with its own charger head....

I answered in the Note 2 forum with:
I have both and was interested in the question as well (do I need to carry both with me or will I have one in my travel bag and one @home).
I checked both and both are rated @2A so their capacaty is the same.
The note 10.1 shows only a 'red cross' in charging on the PC or on a charger from old Galaxy S2.
Now, plugged to the charget from Note II it works with same current than on original charger
Now I plugged the Note 2 into the Note 10.1 charger, and it's charging with same 1.8A as with original charger!
So from my side it's clear, they are interchangeable
I will use the Note 10.1 for home and the Note 2 charger for travel Old charger stays @ home, could make only 900mA...
P.s.: I checked charger currents by reading /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now with root explorer.

Interesting, I have the Note 10.1 and the original charger with the original cable only gets me about 1180.

Yes, the reading on 10.1 depends a lot on other topics like loading % and how much energy just used by the tab. Don't ask me why!

The supplied charger on my Note 10.1 takes about 12 hours to full charge my tablet. Is there ANY WAY to charge it faster without burning it out or, is this just the lay of the land?

That doesn't look right. I can charge mine in 3hr fully. Have it checked or try another charger from another 10.1 user.

Are you still using it when you charge it? Mine also takes about 3-4 hours to charge
I have them both and chargers habe the same specs. 2A and 5V so I dont see or experience any problems.

[Q] Note 10.1 GT-N8013 Charging and firmware issues

Hey there I need a little help. I recently got a Note 10.1 and I flashed Redemption Rom with CWM. Seemed to work just great until yesterday I noticed that it does not charge when plugged into the wall or a computer. If I plug it into the computer it will recognize it and I can transfer files etc, but it doesn't charge. Also when the charger is plugged in the screen acts funny most things are unresponsive to touch, when the screen is locked and charger plugged in I can't even unlock it. I can poke the screen but not unlock. If I unplug the charger it works just fine.
Has anyone experienced this problem with the GT-N8013 before or have any suggestions? My initial thought was to go back to stock firmware and see what happens, but with only 20% battery power I am scared I may not have enough. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Progress....

Well I have been messing with it a little while at work here and I think the base of the charger has gone bad. If I use the base from my Samsung phone and plug the USB cord from the 10.1 to that it will acknowledge that I plugged it into the wall but a red X will appear over the battery icon. I powered it down and plugged it in and nothing happened right away, then I just let it sit and now I notice that the battery/charging animation appears and from what I can tell it appears to be charging. I will power it on after a while and see what it says for %.
Figured it out, it was the wall adapter, turns out the outlet I plug it into was faulty and it fried the charger.

I picked mine up on Thursday and charged it to 100% with the supplied charger and cable, installed the 4.1 system update and used it throughout the following day watching video and general playing. I had it plugged in whilst I was using it and noticed it discharging, odd I thought as it should at least have maintained its charge but after my battery level dropped to 19% on that evening I turned it off completely and left it overnight, this morning it had only charged a further 20%. It has to be a firmware issue as its the only thing thats changed since I first charged it fully without any issues (first charge on 4.0 took approx 3 hours from unboxing).
It needs a 5 volt 2.O Amp Charger to charge properly. IF the adaptor that plugs to the wall isn't putting out enough power it won't work properly. Also could be a bad wire.

[Q] Samsung Tab chargers cause slow charging? Or is it crappy JB?

Is it just me? Is anyone else getting bad charge time from their pre-packaged Samsung charger? We use our Tab 2 10.1 and Note 10.1 (original) with the same Samsung charger. But, it has begun to charge slower and slower until we actually have to leave it overnight just to charge it. And even then it isn't even fully charged! This is a recurring issue with many people here and i haven't been able to find a solution. Maybe it's the rom... or its the charger.

Oy. I was hoping it was just the ROM. Samsung is known for crappy Touchwiz....but that's why i got the Note in the first place, LOL. So, an official manufactuer of this charger, like Belkin, would make a charger that actually lets this thing work properly? Sam Tabs...do they have a history of a really crappy charger?

Then there might be an issue with your Charging adapter.......it shouldn't take that much long..... Wall charging only takes 3-4 hours to fully charge the tablet for me...My tablet is almost similar to yours(4000 maH) and yours may be 4450 maH(if its tab 3 8.0),,,so you can consider 5-6 hours in worst case.

It is Tab 3, 7". I thought the same thing. I tried charging it with my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone - charging adapter but still the same.
I bought it in Dubai. I won't be able to go there until May. It has 1 year warranty. Thanks lokesh
my tab had been charging 100% within 5-6 hrs in wall mount... later i tried many kitkat roms and due to problem in bluetooth now i back to stock based rom... i tried 8 different roms in 5 days time.. and started to facing the delay in charging from the second day itself... many times even i work in my tab with charging... but still charge was draining rather than charging... even after switching to my old rom i am facing the same problem... the battery drains instead of charge...even when i keep it untouched it takes a lot more time to chrge, say for 10 hrs .... does that mean the adapter is messy or the rom related issue
Reviving the dead
Came across this thread looking for a solution to an extremely slow charging Tab 3 8.0. I also have an S5 as a personal phone and an S3 as a work phone. The Tab charged at about 2-3% per hour on all of the chargers. I plugged it up to my wife's Motorola Moto G charger and went from 65% to 100% charge in about an hour.
It's insane that the manufacturer of the device can't make a charger that works properly, but whatever.
If you're having this issue, try a different (respected) third party charger.
Finally, I guess I found the solution
Yup, It's not the device, not charger, and not the ports
Well, it's the cables,
Loose/Bad/Thin cables generally aren't able to transfer high rates of Amps, thus, a infinite time to charge.
I noticed my Tablet is having the same issue, so I plugged the original charger with it's original cable into my phone, and measured the current, my phone usually charges at 700ma, however, I noticed the current going up to 700ma for few moments, and then down to 400, again to 700, and down to 400, this made me think that this was a bad cable
And you ask, why Galaxy S3 and other chargers weren't able to charge the tablet quickly, it's simple, because these cables are cheaper cables that can't transfer 2A for the tablet, use a better 2A designed cable, it will charge your tablet
My tip, buy the shortest cable you can and charge with that. I have compared charging times with so many devices and come to the conclusion the shorter the cable the shorter the charging time. Everytime! A 20cm cable will dramatically reduce charging time!

S6 Wireless charger

Been looking for a spare charger for work and the s2 one is about £25.
Was in a retailer who had the s6 wireless charger £25 on a display stand tried my s7 which worked then thought try my s2 which worked perfectly soon as I dropped it on the charger.
In the past heard people say the s2 won't work with.
I bought one direction from Amazon works fine on everything except my s2, wondering if it's fake or the charger doesn't always work with the s2.
Anyone tried it on there s2 ?

Mine doesn't work either. It keeps going charging and stopping no matter what position I place the s2 on the pad.
Was your a standard charger or fast charger (new desktop style) ?
I ordered and testing a new style fast charger, that does not work also.
Went into two Carphone Warehouse tested the display standard charger, 1 worked 1 did not.
Interestingly though the S2 always works on the Belkin Qi charger
There was a thread on this a year ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/gear-s2-charger-compatibility-t3221837
The bottom line is that standard Qi chargers can be made to sort-of-work with careful positioning, but they eventually overheat the watch or just stop charging. You can get yourself a little charge from some standard chargers in a pinch, but the S2 is basically not compatible with any but S2 specific chargers (and there are 3rd party S2 chargers that are pretty cheap).

Mine is Samsung wireless fast charger (horizontal). I also tried the QiStone+ but same thing happened (nonstop charging and discharging right away) The watch got hot so I assume it may harm the battery life

Gear S3 limited to packaged charger and S2 charger

I have several wireless chargers from Samsung to various other manufacturers. That includes fast chargers and standard wireless ones and nothing works other than the charger that comes in the box with the Gear S3 and my charger that comes with the Gear S2. On the other hand my Gear S3 works with any wireless charger.
I believe that the S3 uses a different wireless standard than Samsungs other products. I've tested this several times. Even resetting my Gear S3 through this testing to be sure about it all.
What's your take? This really sucks for many reasons. For one I have tons of wireless chargers that I bought online that I keep throughout my home and even in my car that I simply used to top off my Gear and S2 when the power got a bit of a low. I This no longer seems to be possible with the S3 unless we invest in a made for the S3 or S2 charging cradle.

I agree with you. It works on my S2 charger but it seems to get a little hot, plus I get a warning to use original charger. I have 2 different Samsung wireless pads. One is the regular wireless charger first out for my Note 5, and the other is a Sammy Wireless Fast Charger. Neither one works for the Gear S3. I also believe it is not a conventional Qi charging standard that Sammy is using.
